A new group of cyclic peptides, the A54145 cyclic peptides, which have the general formula: ##STR1## wherein: R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, an amino-protecting group, 8-methylnonanoyl, 8-methyldecanoyl and n-decanoyl;

A54145 cyclic peptides

A new group of cyclic peptide derivatives, the A54145 cyclic peptide derivatives, which have the general formula: ##STR1## wherein: R is C.sub.8 -C.sub.18 -alkyl, optionally substituted C.sub.8 -C.sub.18 -alkanoyl or C.sub.8 -C.sub.18 -alkenoyl;

Derivatives of A54145 cyclic peptides

New peptide antibiotic A54145, individual A54145 components A, A.sub.1, B, B.sub.1, C, D, E and F and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, are useful antibacterial agents which also improve growth performance in animals, especially poultry. Biologically pure cultures of the A54145-producing Streptomyces fradiae cultures NRRL 18158, NRRL 18159 and NRRL 18160 cultures and methods of making antibiotic A54145 using those cultures are also provided.

A54145 antibiotics and process for their production

New antibiotic A80915 and its dehydrochlorination derivatives are useful antibacterial agents. Methods of making antibiotic A80915 by culture of Streptomyces aculeolatus, NRRL 18422, and compositions containing an A80915 antibiotic also are provided.

Antibiotic A80915 and process for its production

Octahydro-5-oxoindolizine-6-propanoic acids and octahydro-6-oxopyrido[1,2-a]pyridine-7-propanoic acids, the decarboxy and related ester and perhydro derivatives thereof inhibit angiotensin I converting enzyme and are hypotensive agents. Hydrogenation of A58365 factors A and B, obtained by culturing Streptomyces chromofuscus, provides the ACE inhibitors. Also provided are O-acyl and O-sulfonyl derivatives of A and B factors which are useful in preparing deoxy factors A and B via hydrogenolysis.

Octahydroindolizinepropanoic acids and related compounds as enzyme

New macrocin and lactenocin ester derivatives of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is formyl or hydroxymethyl; R.sup.1 is hydrogen, acetyl or propionyl; R.sup.2 is hydrogen or ##STR2## and R.sup.3 is hydrogen, acetyl, propionyl, n-butyryl or isovaleryl; provided that one of R.sup.1 or R.sup.3 must be other than hydrogen; and the acid addition salts thereof; prepared by bioconversion of macrocin or lactenocin with an acylating enzyme system produced by Streptomyces thermotolerans strains, have improved activity against Mycoplasma species.
